Full explanation
Two versions on the Ukrainian market: Clearfield Standard (first generation, works against broomrape races E–F) and Clearfield Plus (CLP — second generation, works against race G+, confirmed in Crimea, Kherson, Mykolaiv since the 2010s). For the Steppe, Clearfield Plus is standard: without it, yields in high-pressure broomrape zones drop 30–70%. Leading hybrids: Syngenta NK Konfeti CLP, Pioneer P64LE136, Corteva LG 59.580 CL, Limagrain. Herbicides: Euro-Lightning (imazamox+imazapir), Pulsar Flex, Capito. April 2026: herbicides UAH 1 800–3 200/L; Clearfield seed premium +8–15% over standard [VERIFY]. Licensing and tech support: BASF Stewardship Ukraine. Trade-off: Clearfield solves broomrape + weeds in one pass but locks the farm into HRAC Group 2 — risk of weed resistance with repeated use. Rotate with Express Sun (tribenuron) for anti-resistance strategy.
